Lapis Lazuli

Raw Lapis Lazuli Jewelry, Handmade in Japan

Explore TROZO's raw lapis lazuli necklaces, rings, ear cuffs and earrings — each built around a real, uncut lapis lazuli rather than a cut and polished stone. Every piece is handmade in Japan, and as one-of-a-kind raw stone it is truly unique.

Lapis lazuli is a rock — an aggregate of blue lazurite with calcite and pyrite. Its composition is Na₇Ca(Al₆Si₆O₂₄)(SO₄)(S₃)·H₂O, Mohs 5–6. Set into Tutankhamun’s mask around 3100 BC and a symbol of kingship in Sumer, it has been loved for over 6,000 years as one of the oldest of gems. Ground to powder it became “ultramarine”, the finest blue pigment of Renaissance painting. December’s birthstone — deep blue with gold flecks of pyrite.

TROZO works every lapis lazuli unpolished, setting it so its natural colour and form lead the design — handmade in Japan, and no two raw stones alike.
